Certainly every debian install I have done asks: All one partition,
seperate /home, and some other option I forget.  So it does ask, even
in non expert mode, although if you just bash enter a lot it will use
a single large partition.  I certainly do find that for most people,
a seperate /home is extremely annoying and you always end up finding
some partition is too small and another too larger.  On a destop machine
that is.  On a server you better do things "right".
